Title: Nose hair
Post by: Irongrip400 on August 15, 2016, 06:17:51 PM
How do you guys deal with it? Mid thirties and it's been coming on strong for the last few years. I pluck or pull them, but then it seems as though I get allergies ( I assume because the intended reason the hairs being there from an evolutional standpoint).  They also grow very fast. It's crazy, cut me down and more pop up the next day. It seems they grow almost as fast as facial hair. Do y'all cut and trim, pluck, wax?

It's possible that your getting germs in your nose from using your fingers to pluck and pull. And if you are using tweezers etc, dip them in rubbing alcohol before you use them. Same with fingers,tiny scissors and electric nose cutters. Clean before every use.

don't use electric ones. Just rip it out with a pincer or it think it's called forceps. You'll soon enjoy it as much as i do. Especially if you are doing this every morning with great care and then all of a sudden you find a huge one which must've grown since months. How did that bastard escape

I have a virtual forest growing out of my nose. Besides looking ugly, they itch because they grow long enough to poke the other side of my nostril. -Bad news, the older one gets the more irritating they become.

I only wish the hairs on the top of my head grew as profusely and rapidly.  :)

I've got a full head of hair broseph, they still use thinning shears when they cut it. At 35, I think I'll hold on to whatever I've got.

Post by: Tapeworm on August 16, 2016, 09:44:02 AM
I used to wax.  If you want to do it then be sure to get the stuff that's rock hard and doesn't require gauze or whatever voodoo they use on women's crotches.  If it's hard in the pot (that you nuke to soften), that's the stuff.  Blow your nose, wash your nose, dry your nose, make sure it's clean.  Unclean when plucking is what causes mild infection.  Use a qtip to apply talcum powder in there past where you propose to wax.  Use another qtip to get the wax in.  Smear liberally while twirling.  Work it into the nooks but don't go deep into the nostril because it'll be a fucker to extract.  Do it over the sink or paper towels because you're gonna drip as a newb.  Hang around hoping no one sees you.  When it's cooled and hard a minute or two later use tweezers to get under an edge and pry it out.  It's a real piece of artwork and you'll be very proud of it.

Upside: Zero stubble.  100% effective.

Downside: It's a production, obviously, and it hurts.  Also need to let enough grow back for the wax to get purchase on.

These days I just trim.  I rounded the sharp point on some cheap small scissors and they work just fine.  Gets closer than an electric would imo.

Don't be so confident there mojumbo. I had a THICK full head of hair and then at 36 it started to thin on top pretty much overnight and has continued to so (I'm 38 now). Sweet dreams sweetheart.  :-*

That's the weird thing, brother is ten years older than me and has a full head of hair. My dad was balding at 28. My mom has thick Scotch-Irish hair, which is where we get it from I guess. Not gonna lie, y'all fools are scaring me a bit.  :-[

My dad's dad was bald, but my dad had a full head of hair, his brother did not.  My Mom's dad was bald, and her brothers are bald.

I have a full head of hair and I'm 50... no thinning or receding.

Other male family members mean nothing really.  It's a genetic dice roll.

Family members have different genetics. That your mom or dad had thick and/or abundant hair is not a guarantee you will inherit that trait. It could go either way. Your brother's full head of hair is also not a guarantee.

I'm bald and my son still has a pretty full head of hair. He's about to turn 50. If he had inherited male pattern baldness, it would have shown up by now.

As for hair growth on the head being associated with moms and dads and granddads etc. The problem with stats from many years ago trying to tell the true story of Genetic hair codes is that, the milkmen of our parents/grand parents generation are now known as the "Genghis Khan's" of the home delivery service. Milk men were dropping their seed in millions of wives around the globe decades ago. I read a story about a milkman years ago saying he shot is load into 75% of all the housewives on his delivery route in the 1950s for an 10 year period. He didn't want to know if any of the kids these housewives were having was his...And it wasn't just milk men. There were door-to-door Getbig salesman for just about everything showing up in the middle of the day while the husband was hard at work.

It's statistics of course. You can have the lucky draw.
If your son hasn't started getting bald at 50, he won the genetic lottery in this case !
My own father is 88 and not bald at all, his father died at 95 with a full head of white hair.
I am in my 40s and haven't started getting bald at all.
